A reason to dance on graves.

Oh, what a volatile economy. Feels and sounds like the bottom could drop out at any moment. The stock market is shaky. A decline of 1,000 points in minutes. The country of Greece on the verge of bankruptcy. Maybe debt-ridden Spain and Portugal and Britain to follow. Yes, even the USA. The stalwart of capitalism. Maybe we are beginning to see the death pangs of capitalism. In which case, I have reason to celebrate. I'd dance on the graves of greedy American-style capitalists. Dance a jig. Maybe we'd have to start to settle for the bare essentials of life. A spreading of the wealth. No more filthy rich people. A new kind of economy that serves the public good. The common good. --Jim Broede
